The AS 2560 series is in two main parts. Part 1 outlines general principles andrecommendations for the lighting of places, both indoors and outdoors, where sport is

played; and P art 2 comprises a collection of separate Standards giving recommendations

for the lighting of specific sports or sporting venues.

At the date of publication of this Standard, the following recommendations have been

issued in the AS 2560.2 series:
